Personal review

In this multilayered resource-management game, the player is tasked with building and running a space station, and balancing its necessary inputs (cash, energy, life-support, and new components for which launch windows have to be found) to get the maximum possible output (money for zero-G manufactures, scientific research, etc).
What makes this game incredibly entertaining is that about halfway through, just as you think you're mastering it, a whole new plotline opens: the search for life in the Solar System. You can fit your stations with engines and launch them to build colonies, build exploration vessels and new station components based on the technologies you discovered.
This game is absolutely brilliant: a forgotten classic.
